报告摘要:

In contrast to conventional technologies that harvest kineticenergy of water,hydrovoltaic technology generate selectricity from the direct interaction of materials withwater1.

Water is not only the essence of life, but also the largest energy carrier on earth. Water covers about 70% of the earth's surface, absorbing 70%of the solar energy arriving the earth, and in the atmosphere it can existin liquid,gaseous and solid states. In human history, through a variety of scientific principles, such as running water driven wheel, steam locomotives, water drivengenerator as well as the electrokinetic effects,the potential energy or kineticenergy of water can be converted into useful mechanical motion and electrical energy according to the principles of classical mechanics and electromagneticdynamics2.In the recent decade, new mechanisms include waving potential3, drawing potential4,evaporation-induced electricpotential5 have been found. Withthese versatile hydrovoltaiceffects, energyfrom flowing, waving, dropping,condensing, and evaporating watercannowbe harvested, significantly extendingour capability in harvesting waterenergy, leading to the emerging hydrovoltaic technology 6 and hydrovoltaics: New ways of harvesting electricity from water7.

In the past two years, intensive efforts have been devoted to hydrovoltaic technology with notable developments made. The power generation hasbeen improved by several orders with incorporation of new materials and devices,putting the Hydrovoltaic Energy on the Way 8.

Here, we will review hydrovoltaictechnology for harvesting environmental energy, serving as a potential Negative carbon emission energy technology, mainly focusingon the recent developments, and envision the future directions for hydrovoltaics.
